With my WG arm tightened about 3 or 4 full spins and actuator signal coming from my jet air line I hit 7psi till around 7000rpm then drop off to 5psi till redline (of coarse all in the manifold). I wish I had tightened it a little more before I started my MM tunes so potentially hit a higher peak boost but I think I am going to scoop up that GT3071R upgrade from blackened wings and install it next winter anyway. So no need to up my boost with this turbo... just enjoy the power as it is now!!

Didn't you look at the preload I put on Pauls WG?
The quick way I use, is zero play, and the actuator bracket bolts are used to tighten it down.
IE, you set it up with zero play and some tension on the rod, then the last two spins of the braket bolts provide the tension.

Yeah thats what I remember you saying. Thats also why I said that I had heard it was a good thing to be nice and tight
on another note. walked out of the gym last night and turned the car on only to find that I lost power steering. Not really surprising with this car so I stopped off at advanced and got some contact cleaner. Six bucks and 20 minutes later I had power steering back. Only crappy part was that I had just finished a tri workout and it was murder driving that thing home with no power steering. /rant

Ya I figure if BlackenedWings sells that MM upgrade before I get a chance to purchase it I will most likely buy the Profec B-II instead. I'll have to do a bunch of reading about it before I do so though; so I can figure out all the install/operating instructions and proper settings. That and some Koni Yellows for the same price haha

The profec is easy to read and adjust once you play with it. I had mine installed for months before I adjusted it. Finally I got bored with 5psi so I played with one setting at a time to see what changed. Finally figured it out and now am hitting about 8-9 psi to 7500.

Here are some updates of the manifold.
It was dye tested to make sure there were no leaks. I still plan to block off the external but I wanted to keep the port in the event that I go with a bigger turbo and if I do then I will have the option of running an external wastegate.
things are coming along fellas. Powdercoat has arrived and pipes will be coated soon.
As for recirc, I have a 1" recirc fitting on the hks ssq. My question here is, would there be any down sides if I just run a 1" hose and reduce it down to the size of the jet air fitting that is already on the greddy turbo intake tube, or should I have a 1" bung welded on?

I thought about that. Is it really enough airflow to warrent that issue?
I have no problem getting the weld done but if its not really neccessary then I wont be doing it.
based on what everyone else does I have already scheduled in to get this welded, but if I dont need to then I will pull out
